# Migrating Node.js apps

This guide explains how to migrate your Node.js app from one WP Engine account to another using the Headless Platform.

## Steps

### 1. Access the WP Engine [User Portal](https://my.wpengine.com/)

Use the account switcher at the top of the left sidebar to make sure you’re logged into the correct account.

### 2. Locate your Node.js app

- On the [Headless Platform dashboard](https://my.wpengine.com/headless), you’ll see a list of your Node.js apps along with their connected WP backends.
- Identify the Node app you want to delete.

### 3. Delete the Node.js app from the current account

- Click on the name of the Node app you wish to remove.

- Next to the “Add Environment” text, click the ellipsis (`...`).

- Select `Delete App`. ![Node.js app deletion in the Headless Platform dashboard.](https://developers.wpengine.com/_astro/delete-app.NbJPJMZ9_Z1J5eVo.webp)

- A popup window with a text box will appear asking you to type the name of the Node.js app to confirm deletion.

  - Enter the app name to confirm. This action will delete the Node app and disconnect it from the current environment/account.
